--Previous Message-- : I'm still hoping there would be some payoff to : the thread from AvX where the Phoenix : mentioned that Sam didn't belong here. I : assumed that meant in this reality meaning : Sam was the product of someone messing with : the timeline. Though in retrospect I wonder : if that was just a comment on the fact that : the Nova Corps was wiped out. : : Sounds like an interesting thread. The : imposter doesn't sound like a bad guy from : your description. : : Looks like they are setting up the Chitauri : to be Sam's big alien threat considering : they keep coming up in his books. I like : the older alien races better since they've : had decades to become well fleshed out : factions. the Chitauri have always felt a : bit one note to me be it in film, Ultimate : timeline or 616. : : --Previous Message-- : Am following it and loving it. : Here is the skinny... : : At the end of Issue #1, unknown to Sam at : this time... readers see that something is : not right with Sam's dad. A question is : asked and the reply is “it was the son.” … : “and no. He has no idea what's going on.” : : In Issue #2 after a battle, his father is : knocked out of the sky (helmet trouble). Sam : goes to his father, but he is horribly : disfigured. Sam asks “who are you”. He has : to pull his face around... and tells Sam to : “GO” (stop the beast/monster, which he : does.) Sam comes back to find this person, : and he (it) is gone. : : In Issue #3 Sam flies off to get Avenger : help (IRONMAN). He will try to help... : : Not sure who or what this IMPOSTER is. At : the end of issue 30 Sam's dad's ship is : captured. “Security to Warbringer: Our : stolen ship has been recovered and brought : aboard. The prisoners are being put in : stasis as we speak.” Warbringer:”Excellent. : Once all the prisons are secured, give them : to the SCIENCE DIVISION”. Why hand them over : to “THE SCIENCE DIVISION” Perhaps the : Chitauri still have their hooks in him. It : would tie in with ANAD. : : Is the imposter a Clone, Robot, : Replicant...? Is his father still alive...? : Well at the time Sam posed the question to : Uatu he was. In any event, I plan to find : out. : : --Previous Message-- : alright to try and steer this conversation : away from the silly boycott threads again... : : So Sam's dad in the new run is a fake? I'm : not reading so I'm not up on what is going : on in his comic. Does that mean his dad is : still out there in space still? If so is : this going to be his storyline for the rest : of time? : : --Previous Message-- : Nova #4 seemed like filler content. : : The story was basically: : : - Sam is sad about faux-dad. : - Sam looks for help. : - No one can help. : - Sam is bringing down the mood of the : Avengers. : - Someone tries to get them out of the : house. : - Sam is still sad. : - Oh, oh! Generic trouble in the street! : - Follow trouble back to iconic generic bad : guy. : - Setup for a fight next issue, with nothing : resolved, nothing really advanced, and not : much content. : : Not the best issue... : : : : : : :
